Hi all! Newbie question: For a flightsimulator I’d like to have a camera following a target not only concerning its position, but also rotation. Staying always behind the airplane with same orientation, so to say. Even in loopings and rolls. Best connected with a rubberband. Is there a way to conf…

Hey @Joerg_Plewe ! Check out the Playground in Raycast to check if player is standing on ground for a third-person camera using ArcRotateCamera.

I’m trying out FlyCamera but I’m pretty sure I’m doing it wrong. I listen to the state of my flight model and place the camera accordingly: flightmodel.stateObservable.add( (s) => { // place it behind the plane this.camera.position = s.position.add( new Vector3(0, 0, 20).rotateByQuaternionToRef…

Hi guys! There is such a thing as followCam and ArcFollowCam … might be useful. And, with JS, everything is “hack-able”… modify things until they do what you want. [ link to followCam and arcFollowCam typeScript source ] Need the JS instead of TS? https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BabylonJS/Baby…

I trried FollowCamera which comes close to what I need, although it doesn’t roll. BUT … FollowCamera introduces significant jitter. Others observed that, too: How to remove Camera Movement Jitter This is particularly strange bc. I cannot reproduce it in playground. OTOH it remains in my flightsimu…

Hi JP… sorry to hear about the jitter. I’m a bit swamped with real life at the moment… but maybe look into putting camera.update() and/or camera.rebuildAnglesAndRadius() (for arc-Follow) inside the renderLoop (to be done constantly). No promises… and I’m really guessing/speculating, here. Ensure …

Thanks @Wingnut ! Unfortunately none of the proposed measure held, alone given the fact that I use plain FollowCamera, which does not have most of the methods/properties you mention. To help myself I created a camera controller that takes control of a TargetCamera and can also roll. update() needs …

@Joerg_Plewe Found this older Question post, where @Wingnut linked an awesome Playground that uses FollowCamera.
